He wants a radio with good selectivity. When I was listening to the station last night, I was *not* using a tube radio, and to tell you the truth, I doubt any of my older tube radios would have had the needed selectivity to weed that station out of the muck. A car radio would have been *useless*. A normal tube radio with standard wide filters would have been *useless*. But my icom with it's narrow filter was the cat's ass when it came to weeding that station out, with a local "next door" on 790kc. Not a tube in sight... Sensitivity will not be a factor unless the radio is "really" lame. MK |
